Former Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury is auctioning his FA Cup final shirt and medal to raise funds for children in Gaza. The auction is part of an event organized by Nujum Sports in London on October 25, aimed at supporting the charity Children Not Numbers. Choudhury has previously been noted for his anti-Israel actions, including celebrating with a Palestinian flag after Leicester's FA Cup win and a dispute with Israeli forward Eran Zahavi during a European match when Zahavi played for PSV Eindhoven.
The sale of Choudhury's FA Cup-winning shirt has reportedly raised over 1.2 million Bangladeshi Taka (approximately $11,000 USD). The funds are designated for children in Gaza, with the initiative framed as a gesture of "hope and humanity" beyond football.
